AJ 7885 mentioned using contact cement..... Any particular brand? Does anyone have any other suggestions on a particular brand/product of glue to use? My 2003 Escape (leather interior) front passenger door has this issue. I had to tear the whole piece off and trash it. Where can I find a reasonably priced replacement piece (other than Ford dealer or website). What is the professional part name for this piece of trim (for ordering purposes)? Thanks for any and all help on this subject!!!
Something like their Super-77 etc. The 3M site should have plenty of info.
The auto parts store or Lowes might have something right there on the shelf.
Also, Ford probably has a Motorcraft product you could use.

Have not found an adhesive
I have a 2003 Escape with all four panels peeling off doors. I have had no success with sticky spray adhesive. I used jbweld and it kind of worked but numerous bubbles formed. I have cleaned the foam he best I could but the fabric still peels off. Any other suggestions before I have to pay a Ford garage to fix this?

Leather/Vinyl issue
I have the 2005 Ford Escape Limited leather seats and leather/vinyl door panel is coming off on 3 doors. I also tried the spray adhesive from auto part store with no luck.
I wish Ford would acknowledge it is a defect but agree they are not going to repair that on older models.

I used putty knife to loosen trim fabric, I then cleaned up both halves(door and trim). I used contact cement on both halves, let them sit till slightly tacky, and then applied trim back to door panel. Did all this with panel on car, and it still looks good three years later.
Did you take the fabric off entirely? Or just loosen it up enough to get in there and clean it up?
